COVENTRY Tory councillor Andy Matchet has dubbed his front room the Harriet Harman Lounge after the new deputy leader of the Labour party.

He's celebrating winning £140 on a nine-to-one bet that she'd beat all other contenders, including MPs' favourite Alan Johnson. He's splashed out on new finery for the front room of his Earlsdon home. He said: "I've bought a chandelier and a gilded mirror."
